Your fantasy Sisters line-up

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Another pointless waste of time.

Rules:

1. Von & the Doktor are obligatory - you get to choose 1 or 2 guitarists and a bass player, living or dead.
2. No previous or existing members of the Sisters may be chosen.
3. You can't choose yourself!

Voices: Andrew Eldritch
Drums: Doktor Avalanche
Guitars: Kevin "Geordie" Walker (Killing Joke)
Guitars: Ron Asheton (The Stooges)
Bass: Lemmy (if you need me to tell you...)

No, I guess 1 guitarist is fine (rules amended accordingly)

Anyway, no matter. It depends doesn't it? Are we going for fantasy Industrial Groove Machine Sisters (which is the definite target of my line-up) or for fantasy '80s Sisters, in which case you could go for Fat Bob Smith and 'Ooky...

;D

It would be your fantasy line up (creating your own preferred Sisters sound).

That was also one of the reasons why I ruled out previous/existing Sisters members (otherwise we'd have loads of people saying "Gary, Wayne & Craig" which would be kinda dull.)

Absolutely has to be Lemmy on bass, no arguments there.

Rowland S Howard on guitar #1 would be pretty good.
John McGeogh on guitar #2.

Yeah, I'd go for that. :D

All in their prime (20s):

Hussey Guitar: Jimmy Page

Marx Guitar: John Paul Jones (not normally a guitarist, but playing a tune on one string can't be too hard? :D )

Bass: Peter Hook

Wouldn't mind trying Bonham too, if Doktor wasn't a requirement..
